Peat, which has industrial importance as a fuel in some regions, for example, Ireland and Finland. In its dehydrated form, peat is a highly effective absorbent for fuel and oil spills on land and water. Lignite (brown coal) is the lowest rank of coal and is used as fuel for electric power generation.
You can perform the following tasks only on a dynamic disk: 1  Create and delete simple, spanned, striped, mirrored, and RAID-5 volumes. 2  Extend a simple or spanned volume. 3  Remove a mirror from a mirrored volume or break the mirrored volume into two volumes.  Repair mirrored or RAID-5 1  volumes. Reactivate a missing or offline disk.
When using Disk Management, a regular partition on a basic disk is called a simple volume, even though technically a simple volume requires that the disk be a dynamic disk. As long as you use only simple volumes or partitions, you can easily convert between a basic disk (and partition) and a dynamic disk (and a volume). Once you use a feature that is supported only on dynamic disks, however, changing back to a basic disk will mean data loss.
